Counterfeit money charges laid against Huron-Kinloss man

A 27-year-old Huron-Kinloss man is facing counterfeit money charges following a police investigation that took place earlier in September.

On Sept. 17, 2017 around 12:30 p.m. Huron OPP officers responded to the Shell gas station located on Huron Road after learning a male had just passed a suspected counterfeit bill. Upon arrival, police located and arrested the male suspect at the nearby Canadian Tire gas bar.

As a result of further investigation police determined the male purchased items using US counterfeit currency at six different businesses located at the Walmart shopping plaza. Police also learned the male was currently serving a probation sentence when he committed these offences.

As a result, the 27-year-old Huron-Kinloss man has been charged with six counts of Uttering Counterfeit Money & 12 counts of Failing to Comply with a Probation Order.
